Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Martha Stewart B08 Heather reads as a medium-depth, low-chroma gray with a cool lean and a faint blue-violet undertone. It is not a clean neutral; the slight color in the gray gives it a softer, more subdued character without pushing it into a clearly colored look.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, hardware, shelf supports, and other small parts where a muted gray-blue finish is needed. It also fits PVC trim pieces, removable fixtures, frames, baskets, and similar sprayable objects that need to coordinate with an existing painted surface.

Because the color is relatively low in chroma, it usually reads more evenly than vivid colors, but the final look still shifts with substrate and finish. Smooth metal and plastic can make the cool undertone feel more apparent, while rough or porous surfaces may make the color look slightly deeper. A contrasting base may still take multiple light coats for even coverage, and surface prep, film build, and sheen will all affect the final result.

About Martha Stewart Paint Colors

For many years, Martha Stewart provided paint and color collections through partnerships with paint manufacturers and sold them through various home centers. A few years ago, Martha Stewart decided to stop selling paint and as a result, Martha Stewart B08 Heather is no longer available anywhere.

MyPerfectColor is able to match all of the Martha Stewart paint colors including B08 Heather so you can still find and enjoy the colors you love. MyPerfectColor uses its expert capabilities to recreate the original Martha Stewart B08 Heather by matching the original Martha Stewart color books and swatches. MyPerfectColor is not using Martha Stewart paint as this is no longer available.

MyPerfectColor matches Martha Stewart B08 Heather based on Martha Stewart color publications. The colors shown on this website are computer video simulations of the Martha Stewart Color and may not match Martha Stewart Color standards. Refer to Martha Stewart Publications to obtain the accurate color.

Please know that MyPerfectColor is matching the original Martha Stewart color. If you intend to touch up paint that has been on your walls for years, know that your color has undoubtedly changed from the original due to exposure to light and age and the new paint may not match. You will achieve the best results by re-coating the entire surface.

MyPerfectColor does not offer matches of any Martha Stewart Specialty Finishes such as the faux or metallic finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Martha Stewart™ B08 Heather *

How do I find the SDS for Martha Stewart B08 Heather matched by MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and its chemistry, not the Martha Stewart B08 Heather color name by itself. To get the right document, look up the MyPerfectColor product matched to B08 Heather in the Safety Data Sheets section. That is the correct record to use for handling and safety information.

What should I expect for dry time when ordering Martha Stewart B08 Heather in spray paint?

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Martha Stewart B08 Heather, dry-to-touch time is usually within minutes. Recoating is typically done in 1 to 2 hours, but that is not the same as full cure or full handling readiness. The coating is fully cured in about two weeks, so plan accordingly if the part will be handled a lot or assembled with other pieces.

Can MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Martha Stewart B08 Heather be used on plastic?

It can work on many plastics, but plastics vary widely, so test the actual part first. Cleaning and surface prep matter, and MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion on difficult or slick plastics. If the plastic is a low-energy or unknown substrate, do not assume one unprimed coat will perform the same way on every item.

What should I confirm before ordering Martha Stewart B08 Heather as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify that Martha Stewart B08 Heather is the reference you want and that spray paint is the right format for your project.

What prep is needed before spraying Martha Stewart B08 Heather onto metal or an existing coating?

Clean the surface first, remove rust, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond well. The condition of the old coating can affect both adhesion and the final appearance, and gloss or texture differences can change how B08 Heather reads on the finished part. If the existing coating is peeling, contaminated, or uneven, test a small area before coating the full item.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Martha Stewart B08 Heather?
All paint is custom-made to order. While most orders ship within 48 hours, the lead-time for paint made to match Martha Stewart B08 Heather depends on the type of paint needed.

The transit time depends on your location and the shipping method you choose. If your need is immediate, select Expedited Production during checkout.

Can I buy Martha Stewart B08 Heather locally?
You would have to ask around locally. MyPerfectColor can make and ship the Martha Stewart B08 Heather in a variety of paint types, but we are not able to comment on what other suppliers can provide.

How do I find the same color as the Martha Stewart B08 Heather in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart B08 Heather, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
